Answer the next 4 questions based on the information given below.
The watchmaker created a timepiece with a short and long hand, which differs from traditional watches in that it has eight equal divisions on its face rather than the usual twelve. The long hand requires the same amount of time to travel one division as the short hand does to complete a full rotation. It takes 12 hours for the long hand to make one full rotation. When the time is 12 PM, both hands are directed towards the 8th division. The eight divisions on the watch face are identified with the letters A through H, but they are not arranged in any particular order.
- When the time is 4:30 pm, the short hand points towards C, while the long hand points towards E.
- At 7:30 pm, the long hand points towards F.
- A is equidistant from E and F.
- Labels D and H are opposite to each other.
- Starting anti-clockwise from E, B comes after G.

Answer the next 5 questions based on the information given below.
In the game of cricket, the game starts with 2 batsmen at the crease. The goal of these batsmen is to score as many runs as possible. Runs can only be scored by the 2 batsmen at the crease or through extras. Extra runs are added to the team total but they are not attributed to any of the batsmen. Team’s total score is sum of all the runs scored by all the batsmen who have batted till that point plus the extra runs.
In the process of making runs a batsman can get out. If a batsman gets out, he no longer is part of the game and is replaced by another batsman.
The following list gives the number of runs scored by the Indian batsmen in a match. The batsmen are given in the order in which they came to bat.
